Today we went to Lake Powell and went to the Glenn Canyon Dam. It was really high up. It is only 7ft shorter than the Hover Dam. It was really cool! We did look at some house boats just to see what they were like. We also went to the four corners. It was really cool!!!!! Standing in four states at once was really cool!!!!!!!

Fri. Aug. 9th... Day 57

Today we went to the Grand Canyon. It was an awesome sight. We went to the North Rim and hiked around here. We stopped at every pull-off in the park. There was one hike Called the Cape Final. Mom said it was .3 miles one way, .6 miles all around. The path seemed way longer than .3 miles. We finally got there and back. Dad checked the trail length and it was actually 2 miles one way. 4 miles all around. She got it mixed up with Cape Royal. AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Otherwise it was a good day filled with some beautiful scenery!!!

Wed. Aug. 7th... Day 55

Today we went to Bryce Canyon and saw some pretty amazing stuff. First thing in the morning we went on a one hour ATV tour. It was cool!!! We drove around and saw all four of the recommended places to see, Inspiration Point, Sunrise, Sunset, and Bryce Point. It was amazing!!!!!!!! After we saw all that we headed toward Zion and stayed overnight just outside the park. We had to go through this short tunnel and they had to close it so we could drive through the middle.
